Judge Tetiana Ostapchuk of the Pecherskyi District Court in Kyiv 8 on 2026 of July year canceled previously imposed arrests on the assets of the Unigran group of companies. This concerns property that is involved in a criminal case regarding possible illegal disposal of sanctioned assets.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, the ruling was issued in case No. 757/36036/26-k. The judge noted that arrest of property is an exceptional measure, and its application requires a proper substantiation of real necessity.
However, already 15 of July another examining judge of the Pecherskyi District Court considered materials of case No. 757/38882/26-k and reinstated arrests. Data about the corresponding ruling from 15 of July are contained in open court data.
Ostapchuk's decision effectively created a short period when the assets remaining the subject of the criminal proceeding could be without arrests. This, according to OBOZ.UA, triggered a reaction from the Office of the Prosecutor General.
We are talking about property of a number of enterprises connected with the Unigran group, including LLC “Yuni Lux,” LLC “Yuni Service,” LLC “Yuni Stone Plant,” “Korostynska mining company,” “Malynska mining company,” and others.
Part of the arrested corporate rights and property was previously transferred into management of ARMA. Among them are enterprises related to quarrying and processing granite. Some group companies continue to appear in court proceedings.
The story of Unigran began with the NSDC sanctions against the group's Russian beneficial owner. In 2023 year the assets were blocked by the state.
According to the investigation, after sanctions were introduced, a scheme of re-registering assets to controlled structures occurred. As a result, part of the group’s property ended up with new owners.
Law enforcement officers are investigating the circumstances of such disposal and possible evasion of sanctions. Within the proceedings, arrests were imposed on property and share rights of companies to which, according to the investigation, Unigran's assets were transferred.
In May 2025 year the Ministry of Justice canceled registration actions regarding the transfer of part of the real estate assets of LLC “Unigran” and LLC “Unigran-Service.” Thus, the state tried to prevent the final withdrawal of property from control.
However, a full nationalization of assets did not occur. Subsequently, questions of ownership and control over the property continued to be resolved in courts.
Later, in court processes, decisions emerged that created the possibility of returning assets to new owners. Therefore, every decision regarding arrests of Unigran’s assets has direct significance for the further fate of these assets.
In this context, the judge Ostapchuk's 8 July ruling drew special attention: after her decision arrests were lifted, but within a week another examining judge reinstated them.
Thus, the situation with Unigran remains the subject of several parallel court proceedings, and the question of who will ultimately control the sanctioned assets has not yet been finally resolved.
Earlier it was reported: the Octagonal Palace worth about 1 billion UAH will be returned to the state: the prosecutor's office won the claim.
